When your business already has a policy, written or unwritten, you must use it, and not the one outlined here. You start by documenting the business grounds for the job elimination. To make sure the training occurs, you should hold the coworker accountable for giving the training and the problem worker's resulting productivity. The first step you need to take when firing an employee is to document everything. You should interact openly with your team members and show respect for their opinions and ideas.

Remember, you must be able to back up everything you say in this form.
